You don't? If anything the complaint about only one six to nine level spell once a day with limited spell list ONLY applies to the warlock, and a lot of mystic arcanum spells are rather lackluster options. Everyone else can get a second sixth and seventh level spell with larger lists. Huh...

Can I ask if you've read the UA about racial feats? I would hardly call the racial feats overpowered. For the most part, they were flavorful, but hardly strong. Dragon fear - spend a feat to inflict Frightened. While a cool ability, its not that different from the Fighter Maneuvers to...

Well, you can't take the warlock smite ability, no, but that doesn't really matter, because there's no less than three of the paladin's smite spells on the warlock list. Sure, you'll be doing 1d8 less damage with branding smite, and no knock down, but still doable. Couple with the fact that...

I just missed the part that said all ranged use Dex, and thought that one could use Str to shoot a bow. Either way, that has nothing to do with the discussion here in this thread.

Personally, if you want less stat dumping? I'd recommend something more along the lines of what Ryuu-tama did: Now, this game doesn't have proficiency bonuses, and only uses four stats. STR absorbed CON, and WIS was broken up, with INT taking on the bulk of perception duties. But I think...

This feels a bit off to me. First of all? The idea of using Dexterity to wield a giant hammer is... iffy. Finesse weapons are based on the idea that edged weapons only need a tiny bit of force to cut through fur and flesh. Meanwhile, hammers? Those rely on brute force than breaking skin...

Well, for the most part? I want to hear about practical implications. In the case of a game book review, I want to hear about what each section of the book covers. Then, I want to hear about how this could apply to a game. Details are important; that's a big way of knowing that you're actually...

*sigh* Pardon moi, but if you're going to be rude about playing a subclass the way its intended to be played, and just insisting on being just a boring, ranged spellcaster again? Then I think we're done here. I happen to like gish types, so you can take your 'boring melee' comments and have...

Shame. Concentration really seems to be killing any strong attempt to pull of a good bladesinger type. And if Shadow Blade is an illusion spell, EKs don't get it either. Heck, relying on Concentration spells in melee is tricky in the first place, which severely limits its use. So...

On the matter of INT checks for more classes. I'm thinking of making some houserules to making it a central trait for Fighters and their tactics. How would y'all go about making INT an important measure for Fighters specifically? What would you suggest?

I personally prefer dwarf barbarians to fighters. The Builder is a lie!

The game was playtested. The problem is that it was tested to be balanced without feats, and non-feat archers run into a lot of issues with enemies having cover from the melee party members. Melee members are also routinely knocking people prone as part of their modus operandus, which gives...

Don't forget scarecrows. They're made by warlocks! I think

No, they didn't "replace" the roleplay restrictions. They just threw them out. They were not serving as a balancing feature at all. What happened was that, either you followed this very specific style of play, or you couldn't use the class. If you did follow the style, and built your OOC...

And yet, the Fighter is by far and away the most popular of 5e classes. Rogue and Barbarian also occupy rankings within the top five classes, along with cleric and wizard. So, what lesson are they exactly supposed to learn right now? Also, if we're going to talk about lessons from the past...

Barbarian (Primal Champion) 20 Cleric (Divine Intervention Auto) 22 + 1 = 23 The capstone is basically the old Miracle spell. Which is just fun. Druid (Archdruid) 23 -2 = 21 Nope, still don't like it. Fighter (Third Extra Attack) 19 Monk (Perfect Self) 12 Paladin (Sacred Oath Feature/Varies) 22...

I like the part where they explain that yes, there's so many DM tools in the book, they named the second chapter Dungeon Master Tools. More seriously, though, not much here in the video we didn't get from the index. Got downtime, encounter building, and more traps. Got some more magic item...

Well, rangers do need some love - their bow spells, with the exception of Swift Quiver, are terrible. But we shall see what comes up. Non-paladin / non-clerics need some love.

I'm kind of curious to see what spells we're going to be getting for gishes. The Eldritch Knight and Bladelock might be getting some good support for once.

There's a whole host of new spells coming for gishes coming in Xanthar's. "Jeremy Crawford: Yes, Warlocks will have access to Danse Macabre. And again, in contrast to the fact that they do not have Animate Dead. So we also, in this book, include a number of spells that are for our characters...
